How to get started?

I'm sorry if this has all been asked before, but I really don't understand where to start. I don't understand anything about the method to begin with.

 

I understand you need to force but that's the thing. How do you force?

 

I've tried just simply talking to my tulpa as if it were sitting next to me. Is that all there to forcing? Or am I missing something?

 

I suppose it's probably a good idea to mention the fact that I've never done this sort of thing before and have no experience with meditation or visualization.

There are about a thousand guides on this sort of thing, but you've probably had a hard time finding some of them because of recent changes to the site. You should be able to find the Guide Submissions section under the Guides portion of the forum. From there, just read whatever jumps out as you as being relevant to you.

Just as Quilten said. Find some guides and read them, and come up with a method that works best for you

To me, the most important thing to do is to get rid of doubt. It can really hurt your progress if you let it get to you, so you should remember to get rid of it early on. From there, it's up to you to decide what to do. There's no right or wrong way to do it; just find what feels right for you, and stick with that method.

First, ask yourself if you can really manage what it takes to have a tulpa. Can I handle the time it takes, do i understand that a separate person will be living with me for the rest of my life, can I accept that not everyone in my life will support my decision, etc. I'm sure you've already done this part.

 

Next, read through the guides you can find on the homepage of this website. All of them. Also look through the ones written by members of this site. Look through the glossary and the FAQs.

 

Lurk around for a while. Get the feel of how this whole tulpa thing works and how others perceive it.

 

If you want a wonderland, make that first so you have a place to go to force.

 

Think about what you want your tulpa to look like. You can give it a specific form, or just imagine a cloud or orb and let it decide later.

 

Now just follow what you already know. I promise that there is no specific way to make a tulpa. Just get an idea from the guides and do what feels right to you. To me, this is the hardest part of the whole process because you don't know if you're doing it "right", but just go with it, don't look for people to tell you specifically what to do when you force :) good luck!

I've gone through a few more guides and I think I'm getting the jist of it. What I'm still unsure of is creating the personality. I want my tulpa to me a true mirror of my subconscious, not just what my concious mind wants. Would I be better prescribing traits and then allowing deviations? Or just leave the personality completely blank?

I'd start with a general outline of personality. Choose 5 "pro" traits, or traits you'd like them have. Then choose 2 "con" traits, or traits you'd find not as pleasing. Then let general deviation occur naturally.

I didn't give too much thought to personality. Personally I only ascribed positive traits, I think it's better for flaws (if there will be any) to occur naturally. In either case, I pictured Thunderfall's form and sort of inserted the traits into him, I pictured the words as written and had his body absorb them. Seemed to workmfor me.

 

While I'm here, let me share the most important lesson I learned during my early stages. You've probably already seen this in some guides, but it's worth mentioning again. Never ever ever ever EVER judge your tully's progress by someone else's. It will lead to doubts and make you feel lost and despondent, and your tulpa will suffer along with you. In my case it lead to Thunder putting in more effort to show me he was there, but again, that was only MY experience. It's not worth the risk to beat yourself up.

I found out what tulpa was about a week ago, and for the past 4 or 5 days I've been lurking these forums and conducting research on the topic. I'm a natural skeptic and never really accept anything without a good chunk of evidence. Something about this specific topic seemed to bypass that for me, though. I was almost caught off-guard at how willingly I accepted something like this to be true. Anyway, that's not the point. This is something I'm determined to do. I've read a lot of guides, but I have no clue where to begin.

 

Some guides say I should begin by visualizing how I want my tulpa to look, some say personality should be first. Some even say I should focus on creating my wonderland first, and some say not to have a wonderland in the first place. Where should I begin, and how EXACTLY should I go about doing it? Like, if you say I should focus on personality first, would steps should I be taking in my head?

 

Thank you for the help, I'm very concerned about doing something incorrectly and wasting a ton of time trying to make a tulpa that will never exist due to any ignorance I might've had about the process. Since this is supposedly going to be a completely new sentient being, I also think it's of the utmost importance that I avoid any mistakes that could potentially harm the creation process.

 

 

Last question, and it's a bit less relevant to the rest of the post. I have a big fear of me simply parroting my tulpa's responses too much once I get to that point. I've read that could lead to them becoming servitors. I really don't want that. Not only that, but not knowing whether a voice in my head was my own or my tulpa's would be torture for me, and I'd maybe like to know if there's a good way to distinguish between my own thoughts and my tulpa's?

I'm really new as well. Like under a week since I started new.

 

Basically I think it sounds like you have a lot of beginners apprehension. You got lots of stuff coming at you and you are unsure of where to start because there are so many places to start.

In short, you have so many targets that you aren't trying to hit any of them. If that makes sense?

 

If I may suggest, I would say that you maybe have a sit down with yourself. It doesn't need to be some sort of ultra serious conversation, but I think in your case if you were to sit down and really think about what exactly it is that you would like to get out of a tulpa then that is a good place to start.

 

Try to have just a general idea. Personally I very much wanted to have a friend that I could have with me at all times. I brainstormed a bit and came up with the name Mira and a list of about 7 traits and went from there. All guides approach starting out differently. Some say focus on one thing until it's fully fledged and then move to another. Others say dabble in each aspect a bit and eventually it will all build up.

I do not think either is right or wrong, it is just whatever you prefer!

 

The stigma concerning parroting I would like to say is only really an issue in tulpas that are semi vocal but the host is still forcing answers. In the beginning I would not see parroting as anything bad, and even if it is just your own mind voice that is perfectly fine! You are at least exercising your communication!

 

I spoke with Mira like she was a mute at first. I would say "Let's go over your traits, Mira!" or "Hey Mira, can you follow me out to the car?" By doing this I felt like it really included her in my life. Eventually she started speaking in a sort of chiming tulpish noise and can now say her name and even laugh!

This was without parroting since she is just a floating green ball and didn't have a mouth, but nonetheless she does communicate in the way that she can!

 

If you're afraid of them becoming a servitor I would suggest maybe asking their permission for things as you work with them. "Can you raise your arm?" or "Is it okay if I have you say a few words? I would like to communicate with you!" I think this will really help you and your tulpa see each other as being two separate things rather than as a master and servant relationship!

 

I know there are others on here that know a lot more than me. But that's how I approached tulpas and Mira. Maybe it can work for you too?

There's a reason scar tissue is stronger than regular tissue.
